Oh, also, I pretty much just post on here and don't read anything cause it's way too addictive for ADHD brain, feel free to contact me directly or do something that causes a notification if you want my attention

Swimmer's ear sucks, hard to sleep with it and it disrupts doing almost any task. Finally been taught the consequence of using Q-tips... Prolly not gonna stream till this clears up cause of headphones, hopefully I can at least work on some programs Y'all be good and don't get swimmer's ear!

This morning, while I wait to go see a clinic about swimmer's ear, we're playing a bit of Garden Story! Cute game about fruits and veg, never played before. twitch.tv/reithger

Early morning Voices of the Void today! Gonna pick up from accidentally molotoving myself and getting trapped in some vents. twitch.tv/reithger

Weird to be using an art program to make kinda shitty art and then realize "oh, right, I made this art program myself from scratch and all of the stuff that is coordinating for this to work I designed and developed". Programming's cool! Years of effort can culminate in a weird moment.

For a change of pace, we are playing some Cities Skylines today! Also probably going to quickly try and draw a lil cat in a construction helmet for my pngtuber thing so we'll see how long that takes. Check it out at twitch.tv/reithger

Oh, by the way, here's a guide I just wrote on how to get a Twitch Chat Bot off the ground: dev.to/reithger/how... It's kinda long but the actions boil down to two POST Requests and some setup, then messing with some javascript for a bit.

Oh, by the way, I like programming and making stuff, please feel free to reach out if you have an idea for a thing that I could help make, I love weird little projects and helping creativity thrive. Self-motivation's been good lately but making stuff for other folks? Feels lovely.

All that said, tonight's activity is uploading all of my ancient Twitch vods from 4 years ago to youtube cause they just added a limit to the highlights you can have on twitch. So, now there's a youtube for my stuff if someone wants to hear my voice from 4 years ago? www.youtube.com/@reithgervod...

Big goals for programming stuff for the stream right now are more advanced PNGTubers (and making some original art for it that's fun for the game I'm playing), a tamagotchi chat-controlled game, better intro/outro scenes with cozier vibes, and more visual noise in general. Many sensory experiences!

Part of my goal with streaming is gradually writing my own code for stuff like the chat bot and a PNGTuber kinda thing that a lot of people use. It's been really motivating to have a venue to present these things in, and be able to share them with others!

Good afternoon everybody, after a productive morning we are playing some more Voices of the Void to coast through the afternoon and also showing off a lil PNGTuber thing I wrote yesterday using some Java and Python. Looking forward to making a more advanced one sometime... twitch.tv/reithger

Good morning folks, another Voices of the Void session to kick off a Wednesday! Did some more work on my chat bot so let's see how it breaks when in a live environment! twitch.tv/reithger

Good morning and happy family day to all the #canadian folks out there! We are playing a bit more Voices of the Void and I will probably talk about how complex getting this chat bot to work has been. Seeya at twitch.tv/reithger

Cookies!

Forgot to post that I was streaming! Been playing VotV for about an hour, doing my lil errands while looking for aliens and whatnot. twitch.tv/reithger

The episode of Columbo with the vineyard brothers is a really good example of how, even if the plot doesn't quite make sense and the 'gotcha' moment has some holes, it is so thoroughly entertaining the entire time that you don't really care and they hit the right beats for it to feel right.

Another round of spending time in the swiss forests listening for alien life in Voices of the Void today! twitch.tv/reithger

I think it's time for another Columbo phase

Another morning stream of Dark and Darker, taking my squishy Bard ass to Hell for a tailor so he gives me nicer clothes #blessed #fleekfit twitch.tv/reithger

Today's Stream: Voices of the Void! Absolutely love that game, it's gonna be wonderful to check out the new map and base. Vibing with some History of Future Folk while I wrap up chatting with cool person. Hang out at twitch.tv/reithger

Streaming some bard gameplay of Dark and Darker this lovely Saturday morning, join in if you want! twitch.tv/reithger

Nearly two hours of dying trying to fight the troll and cyclops in Dark and Darker today, goodness they are punishing to fight with minimum gear cause I'm expecting to die. Got the inside scoop at the last minute about this thing called 'circle strafing' gonna try that next time.

I'm streaming again at twitch.tv/reithger, been playing mostly Dark and Darker which is a fun lil D&D extraction dungeon thing. Check it out if you want dulcet tones and bursts of tension as I descend to hell for a tailor! Prolly streaming in an hour or so?

It would have been so crazy if JFK dodged the bullet at the last moment thus activating Witch Time and allowing for a powerful combo counterattack. But unfortunately that was not possible back then

I know you may be afraid of programming but I promise you learning a little html and CSS will go a long way to putting power over your web presence back in your control. This is a good resource for that journey, take it at your own pace and eventually you'll no longer feel so beholden to platforms.

I guess it is time to introduce Bluesky to my latest work, HTML for People. Anyone can make a website with HTML. No previous coding experience required. I cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way. And it’s free for all. 🚀 htmlforpeople.com

This passage is something I've been trying to put into words for a long time, even hesitantly, and so this was incredibly validating. Definitely thinking about citing this piece in a future essay.

new article. it's about what cozy and wholesome games are, why shitty people like them, and why I really liked I Was A Teenage Exocolonist. docseuss.medium.com/i-was-a-teen...

Doc's articles never fail to absolutely -slay-

gonna make like $20 releasing my own rewritten version of moby dick like that rewrite of pride and prejudice where they added zombies but the big twist in my version of moby dick is i'm changing Ishmael's name to Bonesaw so the first sentence is "call me Bonesaw"

Took a nap and dreamed that this became a hot new meme
